Spicing It Up
Although Wheaton Dining Services offer a special menu for vegan/vegetarian
students, they don’t always offer the tastiest meal. So I made it my mission
this semester to stock up on spices because I know that if they can’t feed me
right, then I will!!!
As I browsed through Emerson’s soup section for the day I
quickly realized that they only had two options for the vegan/vegetarian menu
and that these soups consisted of the butternut squash bisque and tomato soup.
My first thought was that of dissatisfaction given the lack of options in food
for that particular day, but my second concluded that I wanted to go with the
butternut squash bisque. While serving myself said soup I noticed that the soup
was a thick cream, which didn’t sit well with me because growing up I ate solid
foods in my soup and so I expected solid ingredients in my soup. So, I decided
to take a serving of rice, shredded cheddar cheese, oregano, and chili pepper flakes
and poured it right into my bowl.
My addition of ingredients not only made the meal great but
also bettered my dining experience because on that fateful day I concluded that
no meal at Emerson would ever again go un-spiced.
Now if we can only work on the miso....
